Airventure 2013

I was a single aircraft. my wife was with me. no we didn't camp. I rented a car and stayed in a motel. me and the wife just can't get into the camping thing anymore. Oh, to keep up with the spirit. I went out this morning for a fun flight in the kitfox.

ya, but she is so spoiled to the rv, she doesn't get in the kitfox anymore. that's ok with me, the 4 is a great bird, very much so when it's flown solo with half fuel. I was worried about cheryl going on this trip, but she did great. we only flew 4 hrs a day and took many stops along the way. I liked that because I really enjoyed landing at the different airports and talking to the people in the FBO's. very nice trip. my biggest yet.

I enjoyed meeting up with some old friends and new folks, too. I was sorry to not be able to make it to the Lunch on Wednesday, but I was tied up with my volunteer activities on the opposite end of the field...

I just got home a couple of hours ago. The departure was very melancholily, but the long hot shower once I got here was awesome.


Counting the days to Airventure 2014!! Hope to see you there.

I want to say thank you to John McBean for opening up the cowling of his kitfox at Airventure so I could take pictures of his 912uls. I t was Sunday morning before the show started and he was very busy setting up the tent and tying down display aircraft. I told him what I wanted, but I could see that it wasnt a good time, and I said I would stop by later. He grabbed a screw driver and opened up the cowl so I could take pictures and study how oil lines and coolant lines were routed near exhaust pipes and around the ring mount. I recently posted a question of how to route the brake line through the floor and John described how to use a heat gun and14 gauge wire in the tube to make,a 90 degree bend. I think that will work out well. Thanks for being generous with your time and building tips John.
